In depth
Verdict
Auld Brig ran in snatches and never got close at Killarney but ran on when getting the hang of the job and will do better. Ocean Tides caught the eye with a late run on his introduction at Galway and he will have come on enormously for the run while Reddot Roman made a very promising debut at Roscommon where he stayed on gamely in the closing stages. Sevenleft hasn't been beaten far in any of his three races, all on fast ground, and if handling the easier surface should make a bold bid but a chance is taken on the newcomer WEXFORD VOICE. He's been ready to run for some time and was taken out of a race last month due to coughing. He wouldn't be running here unless fully fit and the half-brother to four winners, including the useful Heart Focus, can make a successful start. The expensive Drillmaster could prove best of the remainder.
